Dear Parents/Guardians,

In an effort to improve our schools, the Leon County School District is conducting a 2024 Spring Parent/Guardian Climate Survey. We value your opinion and ask that you please take the time to complete this survey based upon your experiences at your child’s school. If you have children at multiple school sites (example – one child in elementary school and one child in high school), we respectfully ask that you complete one survey for each school. If your children attend Ft. Braden or Woodville K – 8 School you only need to complete one survey.

To LCS parents and school communities—

As Americans living in the melting pot of the world, nearly all of us have a connection to the global community, as well as to past and current events happening around the world. These connections may cause us to feel strongly one way or the other with regard to global conflicts, such as the ones presently occurring in the Middle East, Ukraine, and elsewhere. Our students are witnessing the division on all sides, and of course have their own opinions and reflections.

Dear Parents,

This week I joined other superintendents from throughout the state in asking the Florida Department of Education to take a closer look at some of the FCAT data before assigning grades for our schools. The coalition of superintendents' inquiry is focused solely on GAIN scores, a comparison of last year's FCAT scores to this year's. This is the only situation where we have seen anomalies.

Dear Parents:

The Florida Department of Education (DOE) was recently informed of a website
that is taking advantage of parents possibly misspelling the Internet
address for the FCAT Parent Network. Parents should note that the correct
address for the FCAT Parent Network is: www.fcatparentnetwork.com. Parents
should also note that they will be routed to the wrong website if they
accidentally type “www.fcatparentsnetwork.com”.
